Waiting to see Yoko Shimomura in concert tonight and the only pic I can share is from the website because the theater doesn't even have a poster or a banner saying who's playing tonight. It's nice to see how much they appreciate their acts. 🤦

The future is building a humanoid robot at great cost to replace hiring a guy to hand out water bottles, then hiring a guy to remote control the robot handing out water bottles.

I'm so glad that we didn't have social media when I was an Internet youngster. Most of my worst moments are lost to time, or only exist as saved IRC logs in someone's forgotten ZIP drives, which is kind of the same thing.
if 'was a teenager that fucked up on the internet' is all it takes for you to get burned at the stake then I have bad news for literally everyone on the internet.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.
...and it's not Kuzco, for a change.

Caranraw would be surprised and humbled but he'd also see it as going full circle of something since he, too, was named for a hero from a distant land.

It never occurred to me that commonfolk from the Source and First will possibly start naming their children after Qaraar.
And now I must ask everyone, how would your wol react to probable boom of babies in the coming years post EW bearing your ocs name.

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

The relative importance of close-proximity interactions, shared space and air quality to the transmission of respiratory viruses is not well understood. Here, the authors investigate this question by ...

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Wake Up Dead Man is not a bad film, but it definitely suffers from being a *Netflix* film. There's a good half hour that is just repeating plot points for distracted viewers, and which could be easily excised or used to give more depth to characters who are barely more than cardboard cutouts.
